Abstract

Objectives To investigate cancer risk in dockyard workers exposed to carbon black. Methods Cancer incidence was ascertained among 2101 longshoremen employed at the dockyard of Genova, Italy They were categorized a priori as exposed to low, moderate, and high level of carbon black dust. Incidence rates for the male population of the City of Genova were used to compute standardized incidence ratios (SIR). Results A positive exposure-response relation with carbon black exposure was detected only for bladder cancer (SIR = 204, 95%CI = 112-343, in highly exposed workers). Increased incidence of pleural mesothelioma (SIR = 751, 95%CI = 302-1547) and melanoma (SIR = 288, 95%CI = 125-2168) were detected. Conclusion Exposure to carbon black experienced by dockyard workers was associated with a two-fold increased risk of bladder cancer.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
